Abstract: The wooden spring leaf comprises a large number of thin veneers glued to each other. Over a set length, two or more veneers (4) are not joined to each other at the ends of the leaf (1). This length can be equal to between 10% and 40% of the leaf length. A separating layer (5) can be inserted between the veneers where they are not joined together. The layer can be made of paper or plastics sheet, or material applied to the veneers in the liquid state. Alternatively it can be in powder form.

Abstract: A brain stimulation lead for precise delivery of
electrical stimuli to a small dense brain target, and
method of positioning such lead optimally in the
patient's brain, is provided. The lead has a distal end
portion which is substantially tubular or cylindrical
along a longitudinal axis, and has a plurality of
electrodes 40,41,42 characterized by a diagonal
geometry, permitting a greater number of electrodes to
be provided within a very small lineal distance, e.g.
10 mm or even 5 mm. In a preferred embodiment, three
ring electrodes are positioned on the distal end
portion, each at a common angle of about 45 degrees and
each extending only about 180 degrees around the lead
body. The ring segment electrodes are about 0.5 mm in
axial length, and have a separation of about 0.5 mm.
The lead also has a tip electrode with a substantially
spherical distal edge, and a proximal diagonal edge
having the same angle as the ring segment electrodes.
The diagonal ring geometry permits fine adjustment of
the electrode assembly with respect to the target by
simply rotating the lead about its axis, thereby
facilitating an optimal electrode placement for precise
stimulation of the target.

Abstract: An output circuit for producing 5 volt output
signals from a chip that is manufactured in a 3 volt
process, is provided with a control signal logic circuit,
a pseudoground generating circuit, and an output signal
generation circuit. The control signal logic circuit
receives 3 volt data signals from the internal logic
circuitry of the chip, and produces control signals as a
function of these 3 volt data signals. The pseudoground
generating circuit is coupled to the control signal logic
circuit and generates a pseudoground greater than zero
volts and intermediate output signals as a function of
the control signals produced by the control signal logic
circuit. The output signal generation circuit is coupled
to the pseudoground generating circuit and generates the
5 volt output signals as a function of the intermediate
output signals generated by the pseudoground generating
circuit. As a result of the creation of the
pseudoground, the voltage differential to which the
semiconductor devices in the output circuit are subjected
is always less than 5 volts. This prevents the rapid
degradation of the oxide layer in the semiconductor
devices of the output circuit, allowing the 3 volt
process chip to interface with 5 volt process devices
without premature failure of the chip.

Abstract: The present invention provides a circuit device for
driving a SQUID magnetometric sensor (2A). This device
includes an FLL magnetometer circuit (1A) for driving the
SQUID with an AC signal as a magnetometric sensor, an
evaluator circuit (1B) for evaluating the SQUID
characteristics, and a selector circuit (1C) for
selecting a sensor function or an evaluator function.
When the selection circuit selects one of the sensor and
evaluator functions, only one of magnetometer and
evaluator circuits is activated. Therefore, the circuit
device can act alternatively as either a sensor or an
evaluator.

Abstract: Servosystème comprenant des moyens de réglage (1) permettant de modifier la position d'un élément mécanique (3), un premier transducteur (5) servant à produire une tension de réglage représentant une mesure d'une position souhaitée de l'élément et un deuxième transducteur (15) servant à produire une tension de réaction représentant une mesure de la position réelle de l'élément, ainsi que des moyens de détection (13) servant à générer un signal d'erreur (If) représentant une mesure d'une différence entre la tension de réaction et la tension de réglage. Ces moyens de détection (13) possèdent une première et une deuxième entrée (11, 21) reliées respectivement au premier et au deuxième transducteur, et une sortie (23) reliée à une entrée (27) de moyens de commande (29) servant à générer, en fonction de la valeur du signal d'erreur, un signal de commande (Vc1, Vc2) afin de commander les moyens de réglage. Une résistance de compensation (31) est insérée dans le conducteur de liaison (9) entre, par exemple, le premier transducteur (5) et l'entrée (11) des moyens de détection (13) reliés audit transducteur. Ces moyens de détection (13) font circuler un courant de compensation à travers la résistance de compensation (31), ce courant de compensation provoquant une chute de tension à travers ladite résistance, égale à la différence entre la tension de réaction et la tension de réglage, et ils génèrent le signal d'erreur (If), de sorte que la valeur de celui-ci est proportionnelle à la valeur du courant de compensation. Par conséquent, aucun signal de commande n'est appliqué aux moyens de réglage (1) si ladite liaison (9) est interrompue.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne une nouvelle composition de vaccin qui comprend une combinaison des éléments suivants: un antigène de protéine ou de peptide; une éventuelle matière hydrophobe rajoutée; et enfin, un excipient membraneux de potentialisation immunologique. Ces éléments permettent de préserver l'intégrité antigène des épitopes de la protéine ou du peptide, tout en accroissant simultanément leur immunogénicité. Lorsque cette composition est administrée à un sujet, elle déclenche une réponse immune protectrice consistant en des anticorps neutralisants et sécrétoires qui sont présents en divers sites muqueux dans le corps. Ce vaccin et le procédé d'utilisation de ce dernier peuvent être employés contre des organismes pathogènes, notamment contre ceux qui entraînent des maladies sexuellement transmissibles ou des maladies transmissibles par les muqueuses. Ces organismes comprennent des bactéries ainsi que des virus enveloppés, notamment le VIH-1.

4-terminal hybrid circuit. The first switch
complementarily switches/connects a first broadcasting

4-terminal hybrid circuit and the third switch. The
second switch complementarily switches/connects a second
broadcasting unit and the second antenna to the second
terminal of the 4-terminal hybrid circuit and the third

Abstract: The suspension apparatus comprises a pair of hydraulic dampers (1) for
mounting between the body and axle of a vehicle, and a pressure regulating cylinder (2)
communicating with piston side oil chambers ( a ) of the hydraulic dampers (1). The
pressure regulating cylinder (2) has a free piston (26) slidably disposed within a cylinder
body (24) and defining a front side chamber (h) and a back side chamber (i). The free
piston (26) contains a partitioning member (27) separating a closed chamber (j) from an
open chamber (k) which communicates with the front side chamber (h). The
partitioning member (27) also has a damping valve (4) which enables communication
between the closed chamber (j) and the open chamber (k) and is connected to a rod body
(29) elastically supported on the cylinder body (24). The front side chamber (h)
communicates with the piston side oil chamber ( a ) of one of the hydraulic dampers (1),
and the closed chamber (j) communicates with the piston side oil chamber ( a ) of the
other hydraulic damper (1) through an axial through-hole (29b) of the rod body (29). 
     Because the cylindrical sliding surfaces of the cylinder body (24) and free piston
(26) do not have steps which vary their diameters along their lengths, the suspension
apparatus is easy to manufacture and experiences reduced wear in use.
